Great Show!😊
Our very own Dr James Kustow!
Omg Guys!!!
As a first time, thirty (oops 40!) something… watcher.. I’m BLOWN AWAY!! Soo happy to have found you!!! (Lookout for all my likes!😊)
I just ordered the audio book. Wish me luck. BestWishes!
I was gona watch but that ad took too long so I’m gone lol
I’ve never commented on a video but there’s a first time for everything. I cannot explain how meaningful your podcast has been for me. Diagnosed as an adult only a few years ago but have avoided any positive action to better understand myself, my actions, my inactions, and so on. Listening to so many of these episodes has been the greatest comfort and catalyst of my life, to really start to understand who I am and why I am. It’s been a revelation for me and has changed me so much in a short period of time. So, I thank you for all of your efforts in bringing this into the lives of so many that likely needed it.
I need this book on tape
undiagnosed but in my late 40s a few of my friends from university have had adult diagnosis of adhd, i think we were all drawn to each other and might explain why those years were so chaotic. i was successful in getting the degree, but a lot of time and effort especially in things i wasn't good at… my parents helped me through so much, didn't succeed at getting my foot in the door of the field i had my degree in and felt so much shame
Shaun Spencer from the show Psych definitely has ADHD, in my opinion!🤓
My email is an old one, its up to 89859 emails in the inbox unread.
🤮
Thanks so much for this video, so many relatable and informative points.
I have always had anxiety disorders since I was a little girl. Been fobbed off and laughed at every time I’ve tried to advocate for myself at the Drs.
Funny thing is, neurodivergent minds, are sometimes far more advanced intellectually than any Dr who has been to university for 7 years. I know i was telling the psychiatrist what should be the protocol for mental health diagnostics 14 years ago after my son was born – ofwhich I now see is now becoming ‘new study suggests’ type articles and studies – I could have been a millionaire 😂
Nevertheless- after much research, for my father, myself and my son, I have found the anomalies through private testing of which I deciphered & analysed the results for myself, because I can see things through patterns – & found out I have Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos, PoTs, mast cell activation – ontop of the Anxiety disorders (all of them over the years) PMDD, PCOS & while I haven’t had an official diagnosis, I now know I have ADHD – because I feel like I’ve come home & my intuition was always right. My son also has Hypermobility.
I had severe PTSD after the MMR jab around 4 or 5 years old, & I don’t say that lightly.
How strange is it that I use to self deprecate & cover up for the severe anxiety, by saying ‘oh how stupid am I, I’m sure I have ADHD’ 16 years ago when I was at university !!!
I even wrote my lecturers a letter, to try and explain my lateness, inability to learn like the others, have trouble going through a research process, instead, hearing the brief & having bursts of ideas & creativity within my head, that I couldn’t handle it, like explosions of fireworks – then weeks of paralysis, last minute – I’d design, construct, pattern cut, draw, & pullout something that would leave the lectures intrigued.
Get normal people like me on your podcast! What a story I have facing these multiple conditions, whilst trying to save my father & son!
Yes I overshare too 😊😅
Im avoidant in relationships and a perfectionist when it comes to work and it's exhausting
Brilliant episode – super informative and resonates with many of my experiences and research done and I unpack why I am the way I am.
I like these videos, but the clickbaity intro is really off-putting. No need for it, we are already here, we already want to listen to you and your interviewees. Please treat us like we are intelligent watchers.
Thank you oh so very much x
sorry. i skipped the ads cause its unbearable
The music playing in the background of the advert makes it impossible to Iisten to what's being said 😳
I love this podcast sooo much! I have 14222 unread emails, 5 domains and 9 email addresses! I identify with all of the content on this podcast so much! Thank you for making it!
Oh my goodness ~this is such a useful interview…. my night owlishness is something I have tried to change, but I find almost impossible…. 2 is the earliest I can go to sleep…. always has been, and even though I can choose when I wake/sleep, because I live in total isolation on a farm, it would make a whole lot more sense to be awake early and get work done, but I seem to find it impossible, even if I get myself into bed earlier, I just can't get to sleep until after 2… often I even see the sun begin to wake up before I can sleep. And I have trouble with the heat of the day… I wake up and scan everywhere for snakes, threats, issues until later int he afternoon, and only then can I get outside to do the work I need to get done. My days are very short…. my nights are long and I luxuriate after dark, in the ability to relax. Often in a bath that can last for many hours…. and i have felt like a bit of a lunatic…and I totally have the clothes mountain!I feel somewhat more like a 'normal' person now, as I am obviously not the only one!
Thank you for letting me know exactly how much to double tap to skip the ad
So much makes sense now.
This one's worth taking notes on, will definitely check out his book!
Anyone else went to check their Temu app to see where the last order is….
"The person with ADHD should change their lifestyle before diagnosis and medication. I understand they just can't do it. But you know with a little bit of effort". Contradicting as usual. If we just can't do it, we will not do it. Strategies to make things easier for ourselves and tending to our emotional and sensory needs are possibly more effective because it's what we might not know how to do. But doing things we can't do is just impossible and frustrating, which will only make us more stressed. "Be your beautiful self." Not like that
all my life i get this dizziness when i stand up. doesn't always happen, but when it does, sometimes i just fall back to bed for 10 more seconds, wait for the 'wave' to pass and then get up again. only once this got so bad, that when i got up from a sofa after watching a movie for 2 hours, i got so dizzy that i sort of collapsed and hit my head against the front wall of the sofa. that was in 2014, an injury to my trapezius (went into shock to protect the spine) that never fully healed. anyway, i didn't know this condition was also linked with ADHD.
I think around 50% of the time I was sent out of class, it was for tapping!
May have to look at TIMO 😅
Great interview great mind! ✨🙏🏽
Yup, nodding and saying "that's me".
Does anyone else have low blood pressure and incredibly high heart rate?
So many moments I can relate to… 😂… Yep, I have hundreds of books, yet I choose to listen to them instead at 1.5 speed as they are too slow 😂
One of the most embarrassing things I do ( although I laugh at it) is always leave my fly unzipped or slightly more costly leave taps running
Such an interesting conversation. I was very lucky at college because they did lots of mini tests most weeks which was really helpful. When I went to uni it was more self directed and I started falling apart then, struggled to meet deadlines ect. I had to work like a dog (always last minute 🤦🏼♀️😭). Blimey I take proplus for breakfast to try and kickstart myself!
I struggle to sustain a job since menopause because I now also have health issues, it's so overwhelming.
Tiimo ❤❤❤❤❤ and how you integrated it seamlessly 🎉🎉🎉 😅love this, love Tiimo
couldnt listen to the ad….was immediately bored!
I couldn't find the app….how do you spell it please? 🤞🏼
Aggression in a man, caused by ADHD or not, is a big no 🚫 in a relationship. Showing aggression to a women is unacceptable in and of itself. If you can't control yourself, you are not suitable for a relationship.
The knowledge you all provide is just invaluable….as a 57 year old woman 99.9% sure I have ADHD I am so grateful. The hacks have changed my life and things are slowly getting better and brighter ❤️
A minute in Alex says wonder how many are sitting there nodding their heads at what you are saying .. me like a 'nodding dog' in a very fast jiggly car
It's now 4:10 am 👋
I didnt understand the owl until they said night owl and then it all made perfect sense, among other things, thanks a lot
Who's watching at 2 a.m. because they couldn't sleep?
